Cenk, how come you never get this mad when Hillary is attacked?  Which has been, every single debate.  Just say it, you didn’t like the fact that Obama was forced to answer the questions he was asked, instead of allowing him to go on a tangent and distract us with “Hope” and “Change.” 


You should be glad they didn’t get into the specifics on Healthcare (because Obama plan really isn’t Universal, he should look up the definition), and education (because he plans to “reform” no child left behind because it was written by Ted Kennedy, instead of taking a stance and scrapping such bad policy).  On the war, he wasn’t there to vote, so his “stance” isn’t valid, especially since he voted to fund the war, just like Hillary once he was in office.   


Let’s face it, if Obama cannot handle George and Charlie, how can you say he can take John McCain?  This debate showed what a fighter Hillary is, she is ready to take the heat.    


To end on a good note let me say that as Democrats we need to focus on the Democratic contrast with the Republicans.  Let’s attack McCain, attract attention to these difference to make sure we win big in November.  This is something you can do with this show.  Don’t get angry, get active!

To reply to this and winsor, you guys are crazy. In the post game show when we got to their answers rather than the questions, I said I didn't like a lot of Obama's answers and he was far too tepid. I agree that he should take charge an rarely does in any debate.

I have said that Hillary has won every debate until the last one. And I think I am the only one in the country defending her Bosnia story (because it's not relevant).

Come on, in this debate, she didn't seem like she was being petty to you? She seemed like she was whining and none of her points resonated with me.

I think Obama scored more points by pretending to be above it (as he got his jabs in). This was smart on his part, though not particularly honest.

I'm being as fair as I possibly can.

Cenk, someday I hope you are the one asking the questions.  Wouldn't that be AWESOME?  Keep up the good work man!
